Abstract
According to WHO reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of reproductive disease of infirmity. Changes make life more beautiful and worth living, if one knows how to adapt oneself and adjust to the challenges presented by the situation then he or she can face any challenge in life. The changes are more frequent in girls than boys. Girls mature earlier, and reach the period of rapid growth earlier than boys. The rapid growth and change in the physical structure is after the attainment of puberty. So far the health system has been more specifically targeted to infants, children below 6yrs and pregnant women. Therefore unmarried adolescents have been ignored by the government and other health sectors. It is only since 1996 that reproductive and child health programme has included adolescent health in its spectrum of package. There are many changes that occur to female body during puberty. The action of hormone such as estrogen and progesterone causes changes in the body and many of the unstable feelings that she may experience. Hence their reproductive health aspects need special and urgent attention of all concerned.
